More Near Than Far

MORE NEAR THAN FAR

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

GATHERING FLOWERS, GATHERING LEAVES

MAKING MEDICINE IN LITTLE SHEAVES

THE SUN SHINES DOWN

ON A LAZY AFTERNOON

A QUIET WOODS, A WORLD UNTO ITSELF

BLACKBIRD LAUGHING BY A STREAM

SPLASHING IN THE WATER, HE'S SO CLEAN

I COME HERE MY MIND ALL IN DISARRAY 

BY THE TIME THAT I LEAVE A PEACEFUL SOUL 

I KNOW IT WILL BE WHAT IT IS

BETTER THAN WHAT IT WAS

I TURN MY BACK AGAINST THE SUN

I'M HEADING OUT I'M DONE

SHOULD I HURRY OR TAKE MY TIME

FEED MY SOUL ON THE RUN

OR A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME

THE CHOICES ARE ENTIRELY MINE

THE REALITY, THE SUNDOWN

 MORE NEAR THAN FAR

AS I AM AND AS YOU ARE

WHAT I WAS I AM NO LONGER

BETTER STRONGER

ROOTED IN BLACKEST EARTH

HEAR THE MUSIC, HEAR THE SONG

FEEL THE VIBES THEY'RE NEVER WRONG

TONIGHT I SHALL GAZE

INTO THE STARRY SKY

UNTIL MY CONSCIOUSNESS TRANSCENDS ME

TO WHERE IT BEGINS

THINK OF LINK OF SOMETHING

INFINITE THAT NEVER ENDS

AM I LEFT BELIEVING EVERYTHING I KNOW 

DOESN'T MEAN A THING

AS TIME SWALLOWS UP THE ILLUSION

WE'VE CREATED

OH IT'S ALL WILD AND SPECULATION

DARK THINKING AND DESPERATION 

TO FIGURE IT ALL OUT

YOU ASK THE QUESTIONS

THE ANSWERS ARE FEW

TO FIGURE IT OUT IS UP TO YOU

GETTING CLOSER MORE NEAR THAN FAR

THERE'S A REASON YOU'RE WHERE YOU ARE

HANGING ON YOU WON'T LET GO

NOT SURE WHAT IT IS, YOU JUST DON'T KNOW

BUT IT'S FAR REACHING INTO YOUR SOUL 

SEEMS LIKE IT WON'T LET GO

YOU DREAM OF BEING FREE

BUT THE CLOSER YOU GET

THE FURTHER YOU SEEM TO BE
